TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to certain diaryl macrocyclic derivatives, pharmaceutical compositions containing them, and methods of using them to treat cancer, pain, neurological diseases, autoimmune diseases, and inflammation.

BACKGROUND

Protein kinases are key regulators for cell growth, proliferation and survival. Genetic and epigenetic alterations accumulate in cancer cells leading to abnormal activation of signal transduction pathways which drive malignant processes. Manning, G. et al., Science 2002, 298, 1912-1934. Pharmacological inhibition of these signaling pathways presents promising intervention opportunities for targeted cancer therapies. Sawyers, C., Nature 2004, 432, 294-297.

MET, along with RON, belongs to a unique subfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases, and is mainly produced in cells of epithelial or endothelial origin. Park, M. et al., Cell 1986, 45, 895-904. Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), also known as scatter factor (SF), is the only known natural high-affinity ligand of MET, and is mainly expressed in cells of mesenchymal origin. Bottaro, D. P. et al., Science 1991, 251, 802-804. HGF/MET signaling controls MET-dependent cell proliferation, survival, and migration processes that are critical for invasive growth during embryonic development and postnatal organ regeneration, and are fully active in adults only for wound healing and tissue regeneration processes. Trusolino, L. et al., Nature Rev. Mol. Cell Biol. 2010, 11, 834-848. The HGF/MET axis is frequently upregulated in many cancers through activating mutation, gene amplification, aberrant paracrine, or autocrine ligand production, and is strongly linked with tumorigenesis, invasive growth, and metastasis. Gherardi, E. et al., Nature Rev. Cancer 2012, 12, 89-103. In addition, the activation of HGF/MET signaling is emerging as an important mechanism in resistance to EGFR and BRAF inhibitor treatments via MET amplification and/or upregulation of stromal HGF. Engelman, J. A. et al., Science 2007, 316, 1039-1043; Wilson, T. R. et al., Nature 2012, 487, 505-509. Due to the role of aberrant HGF/MET signaling in human oncogenesis, invasion/metastasis, and resistance, inhibition of the HGF/MET signaling pathway has great potential in cancer therapy.

ALK, along with leukocyte tyrosine kinase (LTK), is grouped within the insulin receptor (IR) superfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases. ALK is mainly expressed in the central and peripheral nervous systems suggesting a potential role in normal development and function of the nervous system. Pulford, K. et al., Cell Mol. Life Sci. 2004, 61, 2939. ALK was first discovered as a fusion protein, NPM (nucleophosmin)-ALK, encoded by a fusion gene arising from the t(2;5)(p23;q35) chromosomal translocation in anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) cell lines. Morris, S. W. et al., Science 1994, 263, 1281. More than twenty distinct ALK translocation partners have been discovered in many cancers, including ALCL (60-90% incidence), inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMT, 50-60%), non-small cell lung carcinomas (NSCLC, 3-7%), colorectal cancers (CRC, 0-2.4%), breast cancers (0-2.4%), and other carcinomas. Grande, E. et al., Mol. Cancer Ther. 2011, 10, 569-579. The ALK-fusion proteins are located in the cytoplasm, and the fusion partners with ALK play a role in dimerization or oligomerization of the fusion proteins through a coil-coil interaction to generate constitutive activation of ALK kinase function. Bischof, D. et al., Mol. Cell Biol., 1997, 17, 2312-2325. EML4-ALK, which comprises portions of the echinoderm microtubule associated protein-like 4 (EML4) gene and the ALK gene, was first discovered in NSCLC, is highly oncogenic, and was shown to cause lung adenocarcinoma in transgenic mice. Soda, M. et al., Nature 2007, 448, 561-566. Oncogenic point mutations of ALK in both familial and sporadic cases of neuroblastoma. Mosse, Y. P. et al., Nature 2008, 455, 930-935. ALK is an attractive molecular target for cancer therapeutic intervention because of the important roles in haematopoietic, solid, and mesenchymal tumors. Grande, supra.

The tropomyosin-related receptor tyrosine kinases (Trks) are the high-affinity receptor for neurotrophins (NTs), a nerve growth factor (NGF) family of proteins. Members of the Trk family are highly expressed in cells of neural origin. Activation of Trks (TrkA, TrkB, and TrkC) by their preferred neurotrophins (NGF to TrkA, brain-derived neurotrophic factor [BDNF] and NT4/5 to TrkB, and NT3 to TrkC) mediates the survival and differentiation of neurons during development. The NT/Trk signaling pathway functions as an endogenous system that protects neurons after biochemical insults, transient ischemia, or physical injury. Thiele, C. J. et al., Clin. Cancer Res. 2009, 15, 5962-5967. However, Trk was originally cloned as an oncogene fused with the tropomyosin gene in the extracellular domain. The activating mutations caused by chromosomal rearrangements or mutations in NTRK1 (TrkA) has been identified in papillary and medullary thyroid carcinoma, and recently in non-small cell lung cancer. Pierotti, M. A. et al., Cancer Lett. 2006, 232, 90-98; Vaishnavi, A. et al., Nat. Med. 2013, 19, 1469-1472. Because Trks play important roles in pain sensation as well as tumor cell growth and survival signaling, inhibitors of Trk receptor kinases may provide benefits as treatments for pain and cancer.

Receptor tyrosine kinase AXL belongs to the TAM family of proteins and was originally detected in patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) as an unidentified transforming gene. Verma, A. et al., Mol. Cancer Ther. 2011, 10, 1763-1773. The primary ligand for TAM receptors is growth arrest-specific 6 protein (Gas6). AXL is ubiquitously expressed and has been detected in a wide variety of organs and cells, including the hippocampus and cerebellum, monocytes, macrophages, platelets, endothelial cells (EC), heart, skeletal muscle, liver, kidney, and testis. Upregulation of Gas6/AXL has been reported in many human cancers including colon, esophageal, thyroid, breast, lung, liver, and astrocytoma-glioblastoma. Id. Increased activation of AXL has been observed in EGFR-mutant lung cancer models in vitro and in vivo with acquired resistance to erlotinib in the absence of the EGFR T790M alteration or MET activation. Zhang, Z. et al., Nat. Genet. 2012, 44, 852-860. Genetic or pharmacological inhibition of AXL restored sensitivity to erlotinib in these tumor models. Increased expression of AXL and, in some cases, of its ligand Gas6 was found in EGFR-mutant lung cancers obtained from individuals with acquired resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Id. Therefore, AXL is a promising therapeutic target for patients with EGFR-mutant lung cancer who acquired resistance to EGFR inhibitors.

Crizotinib (PF-02341066) is a tyrosine kinase drug targeting MET/ALK/ROS1/RON with moderate activity against TRKs and AXL. Cui, J. J. et al., J. Med. Chem. 2011, 54, 6342-6363. It was approved to treat certain patients with late-stage (locally advanced or metastatic) NSCLC that expresses the abnormal ALK fusion gene identified by a companion diagnostic test (Vysis ALK Break Apart FISH Probe Kit). Similar to imatinib and other kinase inhibitor drugs, resistance invariably develops after a certain time of treatment with crizotinib. The resistance mechanisms include ALK gene amplification, secondary ALK mutations, and aberrant activation of other kinases including KIT and EGFR. Katayama, R. et al., Sci. Transl. Med. 2012, 4, 120ra17. Based on the clinical success of second generation ABL inhibitors for the treatment of imatinib resistance in CML patients, a second generation of ALK inhibitors is emerging. These drugs target the treatment of crizotinib-refractory or resistant NSCLC patient with more potent inhibition against both wild and mutant ALK proteins. Gridelli, C. et al., Cancer Treat Rev. 2014, 40, 300-306.

By modulating multiple targets among the group of structurally related tyrosine kinases MET, ALK, AXL, and TRK, the compounds described herein address crizotinib resistance, EGFR inhibitor drug resistance, and other primary indications with abnormal cell signaling due to MET, ALK, AXL, and/or TRK mutations and gene amplification. Compounds describe herein are inhibitors of MET, wild and mutant ALKs, AXL, and TRKs and will be useful in treating cancer patients with abnormal signaling from any one or more of MET, ALK, AXL, or TRKs.

The Janus family of kinases (JAKs) include JAK1, JAK2, JAK3 and TYK2, and are cytoplastic tyrosine kinases required for the physiologic signaling of cytokines and growth factors. Quintas-Cardama, A. et al., Nat. Rev. Drug Discov. 2011, 10(2), 127-40; Pesu, M. et al., Immunol. Rev. 2008, 223, 132-142; Murray, P. J., J. Immunol. 2007, 178(5), 2623-2329. JAKs activate by ligand-induced oligomerization, resulting in the activation of downstream transcriptional signaling pathway called STAT (signal transducers and activators of transcription). The phosphorylated STATs dimerize and translocate into nucleus to drive the expression of specific genes involved in proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation, which are essential for hematopoiesis, inflammation and immune response. Murray, supra.

Mouse knockout studies have implicated the primary roles of JAK-STAT signaling with some overlap between them. JAK1 plays a critical role in the signaling of various proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1, IL-4, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα). Muller, M. et al., Nature 1993, 366(6451), 129-135. JAK2 functions for hematopoietic growth factors signaling such as Epo, IL-3, IL-5, GM-CSF, thrombopoietin growth hormone, and prolactin-mediated signaling. Neubauer, H. et al., Cell 1998 93(3), 397-409. JAK3 plays a role in mediating immune responses, and TYK2 associates with JAK2 or JAK3 to transduce signaling of cytokines, such as IL-12. Nosaka, T. et al., Science 1995, 270(5237), 800-802; Vainchenker, W. et al., Semin. Cell. Dev. Biol. 2008, 19(4), 385-393.

Aberrant regulation of JAK/STAT pathways has been implicated in multiple human pathological diseases, including cancer (JAK2) and rheumatoid arthritis (JAK1, JAK3). A gain-of-function mutation of JAK2 (JAK2V617F) has been discovered with high frequency in MPN patients. Levine, R. L. et al., Cancer Cell 2005, 7(4), 387-397; Kralovics, R. et al., N. Engl. J. Med. 2005, 253(17), 1779-1790; James, C. et al., Nature 2005, 434(7037), 1144-1148; Baxter, E. J. et al. Lancet 2005, 365(9464), 1054-1061. The mutation in the JH2 pseudokinase domain of JAK2 leads to constitutively kinase activity. Cells containing JAK2V617F mutantation acquire cytokine-independent growth ability and often become tumor, providing strong rational for the development of JAK inhibitors as target therapy.

Multiple JAK inhibitors in clinical trial showed significant benefit in splenomegaly and disease related constitutional symptoms for the myelofibrosis patients, including the first FDA-approved JAK2 inhibitor ruxolitinib in 2011. Quintas-Cardama, supra; Sonbol, M. B. et al., Ther. Adv. Heinatol. 2013, 4(1), 15-35; LaFave, L. M. et al., Trends Pharmacol. Sci. 2012, 33(11), 574-582. The recently collected clinical data related to ruxolitinib treatment indicated that JAK inhibitors work on both JAK2 wild-type and JAK2 mutated cases. Verstovsek, S. et al., N. Engl. J. Med. 2012, 366(9), 799-807; Quintas-Cardama, A. et al., Blood 2010, 115(15), 3109-3117. The discovery of selective inhibitors of JAK2 vs JAK1/3 remains an unsolved challenge. In addition, hyperactivation of the JAK2/signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 (JAK2/STAT3) is responsible for abnormal dendritic cell differentiation leading to abnormal dendritic cell differentiation and accumulation of immunosuppressive myeloid cells in cancer (Nefedova, Y. et al., Cancer Res 2005; 65(20): 9525-35). In Pten-null senescent tumors, activation of the Jak2/Stat3 pathway establishes an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment that contributes to tumor growth and chemoresistance (Toso, A. et al., Cell Reports 2014, 9, 75-89). Therefore, pharmacologic inhibition of the JAK2/STAT3 pathway can be an important new therapeutic strategy to enhance antitumor activity via the regulation of antitumor immunity.

ROS1 kinase is a receptor tyrosine kinase with an unknown ligand. The normal functions of human ROS1 kinase have not been fully understood. However, it has been reported that ROS1 kinase undergoes genetic rearrangements to create constitutively active fusion proteins in a variety of human cancers including glioblastoma, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), cholangiocarcinoma, ovarian cancer, gastric adenocarcinoma, colorectal cancer, inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor, angiosarcoma, and epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (Davies, K. D. et al., Clin Cancer Res 2013, 19 (15): 4040-4045). Targeting ROS1 fusion proteins with crizotinib has demonstrated promising clinical efficacy in NSCLC patients whose tumors are positive for ROS1 genetic abnormalities (Shaw, A. T. et al., N Engl J Med. 2014, 371(21):1963-1971). Acquired resistant mutations have been observed in crizotinib treatment patients (Awad, M. M. et al., N Engl J Med. 2013, 368(25):2396-2401). It is urgent to develop the second generation of ROS1 inhibitors for overcoming crizotinib ROS1 resistance.

There remains a need for small molecule inhibitors of these multiple protein or tyrosine kinase targets with desirable pharmaceutical properties. Certain diaryl macrocyclic compounds have been found in the context of this invention to have this advantageous activity profile.

wherein

By way of example, the term C₁₋₃ refers independently to embodiments that have one carbon member (C₁), embodiments that have two carbon members (C₂), and embodiments that have three carbon members (C₃).

Any disubstituent referred to herein is meant to encompass the various attachment possibilities when more than one of such possibilities are allowed. For example, reference to disubstituent -A-B-, where A≠B, refers herein to such disubstituent with A attached to a first substituted member and B attached to a second substituted member, and it also refers to such disubstituent with A attached to the second substituted member and B attached to the first substituted member.

The invention also includes pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds represented by Formula (I) or (I-A), preferably of those described above and of the specific compounds exemplified herein, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising such salts, and methods of using such salts.

A “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” is intended to mean a salt of a free acid or base of a compound represented herein that is non-toxic, biologically tolerable, or otherwise biologically suitable for administration to the subject. See, generally, S. M. Berge, et al., “Pharmaceutical Salts,” J. Pharm. Sci., 1977, 66, 1-19. Preferred pharmaceutically acceptable salts are those that are pharmacologically effective and suitable for contact with the tissues of subjects without undue toxicity, irritation, or allergic response. A compound described herein may possess a sufficiently acidic group, a sufficiently basic group, both types of functional groups, or more than one of each type, and accordingly react with a number of inorganic or organic bases, and inorganic and organic acids, to form a pharmaceutically acceptable salt.

Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts include sulfates, pyrosulfates, bisulfates, sulfites, bisulfite, phosphates, monohydrogen-phosphates, dihydrogenphosphates, metaphosphates, pyrophosphates, chlorides, bromides, iodides, acetates, propionates, decanoates, caprylates, acrylates, formates, isobutyrates, caproates, heptanoates, propiolates, oxalates, malonates, succinates, suberates, sebacates, fumarates, maleates, butyne-1,4-dioates, hexyne-1,6-dioates, benzoates, chlorobenzoates, methylbenzoates, dinitrobenzoates, hydroxybenzoates, methoxybenzoates, phthalates, sulfonates, methylsulfonates, propylsulfonates, besylates, xylenesulfonates, naphthalene-1-sulfonates, naphthalene-2-sulfonates, phenylacetates, phenylpropionates, phenylbutyrates, citrates, lactates, γ-hydroxybutyrates, glycolates, tartrates, and mandelates. Lists of other suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salts are found in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 17th Edition, Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pa., 1985.

For a compound of Formula (I) or (I-A) that contains a basic nitrogen, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt may be prepared by any suitable method available in the art, for example, treatment of the free base with an inorganic acid, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, sulfamic acid, nitric acid, boric acid, phosphoric acid, and the like, or with an organic acid, such as acetic acid, phenylacetic acid, propionic acid, stearic acid, lactic acid, ascorbic acid, maleic acid, hydroxymaleic acid, isethionic acid, succinic acid, valeric acid, fumaric acid, malonic acid, pyruvic acid, oxalic acid, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, lauric acid, a pyranosidyl acid, such as glucuronic acid or galacturonic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid, such as mandelic acid, citric acid, or tartaric acid, an amino acid, such as aspartic acid or glutamic acid, an aromatic acid, such as benzoic acid, 2-acetoxybenzoic acid, naphthoic acid, or cinnamic acid, a sulfonic acid, such as laurylsulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, or ethanesulfonic acid, or any compatible mixture of acids such as those given as examples herein, and any other acid and mixture thereof that are regarded as equivalents or acceptable substitutes in light of the ordinary level of skill in this technology.

The invention also relates to pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs of the compounds of Formula (I) or (I-A), and treatment methods employing such pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs. The term “prodrug” means a precursor of a designated compound that, following administration to a subject, yields the compound in vivo via a chemical or physiological process such as solvolysis or enzymatic cleavage, or under physiological conditions (e.g., a prodrug on being brought to physiological pH is converted to the compound of Formula (I) or (I-A)). A “pharmaceutically acceptable prodrug” is a prodrug that is non-toxic, biologically tolerable, and otherwise biologically suitable for administration to the subject. Illustrative procedures for the selection and preparation of suitable prodrug derivatives are described, for example, in “Design of Prodrugs”, ed. H. Bundgaard, Elsevier, 1985.

The present invention also relates to pharmaceutically active metabolites of compounds of Formula (I) or (I-A), and uses of such metabolites in the methods of the invention. A “pharmaceutically active metabolite” means a pharmacologically active product of metabolism in the body of a compound of Formula (I) or (I-A) or salt thereof. Prodrugs and active metabolites of a compound may be determined using routine techniques known or available in the art. See, e.g., Bertolini et al., J. Med. Chem. 1997, 40, 2011-2016; Shan et al., J. Pharm. Sci. 1997, 86 (7), 765-767; Bagshawe, Drug Dev. Res. 1995, 34, 220-230; Bodor, Adv. Drug Res. 1984, 13, 255-331; Bundgaard, Design of Prodrugs (Elsevier Press, 1985); and Larsen, Design and Application of Prodrugs, Drug Design and Development (Krogsgaard-Larsen et al., eds., Harwood Academic Publishers, 1991).

As used herein, the terms “treat” or “treatment” encompass both “preventative” and “curative” treatment. “Preventative” treatment is meant to indicate a postponement of development of a disease, a symptom of a disease, or medical condition, suppressing symptoms that may appear, or reducing the risk of developing or recurrence of a disease or symptom. “Curative” treatment includes reducing the severity of or suppressing the worsening of an existing disease, symptom, or condition. Thus, treatment includes ameliorating or preventing the worsening of existing disease symptoms, preventing additional symptoms from occurring, ameliorating or preventing the underlying systemic causes of symptoms, inhibiting the disorder or disease, e.g., arresting the development of the disorder or disease, relieving the disorder or disease, causing regression of the disorder or disease, relieving a condition caused by the disease or disorder, or stopping the symptoms of the disease or disorder.

The term “subject” refers to a mammalian patient in need of such treatment, such as a human.

Exemplary diseases include cancer, pain, neurological diseases, autoimmune diseases, and inflammation. Cancer includes, for example, lung cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma, gastric and esophago-gastric cancers, glioblastoma, head and neck cancers, inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors, and anaplastic large cell lymphoma. Pain includes, for example, pain from any source or etiology, including cancer pain, pain from chemotherapeutic treatment, nerve pain, pain from injury, or other sources. Autoimmune diseases include, for example, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren syndrome, Type I diabetes, and lupus. Exemplary neurological diseases include Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Huntington's disease. Exemplary inflammatory diseases include atherosclerosis, allergy, and inflammation from infection or injury.

In one aspect, the compounds and pharmaceutical compositions of the invention specifically target tyrosine receptor kinases, in particular MET, ALK, AXL, TRKs, and JAKs. Thus, these compounds and pharmaceutical compositions can be used to prevent, reverse, slow, or inhibit the activity of one or more of these kinases. In preferred embodiments, methods of treatment target cancer. In other embodiments, methods are for treating lung cancer or non-small cell lung cancer.

In the inhibitory methods of the invention, an “effective amount” means an amount sufficient to inhibit the target protein. Measuring such target modulation may be performed by routine analytical methods such as those described below. Such modulation is useful in a variety of settings, including in vitro assays. In such methods, the cell is preferably a cancer cell with abnormal signaling due to upregulation of MET, ALK, AXL, TRKs, and/or JAKs.

In treatment methods according to the invention, an “effective amount” means an amount or dose sufficient to generally bring about the desired therapeutic benefit in subjects needing such treatment. Effective amounts or doses of the compounds of the invention may be ascertained by routine methods, such as modeling, dose escalation, or clinical trials, taking into account routine factors, e.g., the mode or route of administration or drug delivery, the pharmacokinetics of the agent, the severity and course of the infection, the subject's health status, condition, and weight, and the judgment of the treating physician. An exemplary dose is in the range of about from about 0.1 mg to 1 g daily, or about 1 mg to 50 mg daily, or about 50 to 250 mg daily, or about 250 mg to 1 g daily. The total dosage may be given in single or divided dosage units (e.g., BID, TID, QID).

Once improvement of the patient's disease has occurred, the dose may be adjusted for preventative or maintenance treatment. For example, the dosage or the frequency of administration, or both, may be reduced as a function of the symptoms, to a level at which the desired therapeutic or prophylactic effect is maintained. Of course, if symptoms have been alleviated to an appropriate level, treatment may cease. Patients may, however, require intermittent treatment on a long-term basis upon any recurrence of symptoms. Patients may also require chronic treatment on a long-term basis.

Additional examples are prepared using methods analogous to those described above.

Biological Example 1: Biochemical Kinase Assays

MET/ALK/AXL/TRKs enzyme inhibition may be measured by Omnia (Invitrogen Inc.) continuous fluorometric assay. Reactions are conducted in 50 μL volumes in 96-well plates at 30° C. Mixtures contain 1 nM human recombinant target kinase domain, 2 μM phosphoacceptor peptide, test compound (11-dose, 3-fold serial dilutions, 2% DMSO final) or DMSO only, 0.2 mM DTT, and 10 mM MgCl₂ in 20 mM Hepes, pH 7.5, and the reactions are initiated by addition of ATP (100 μM final concentration) following a 20 min pre-incubation. The initial rates of phosphopeptide formation are measured over 20 min using a Tecan Safire microplate reader with wavelength settings of 360 nm for excitation and 485 nm for emission. The K_(i) values are calculated by fitting the data to the equation for competitive inhibition using nonlinear regression method (GraphPad Prism, GraphPad Software, San Diego, Calif.).

Biological Example 2: Cellular Kinase Phosphorylation ELISA Assays

The experiments are performed based on the procedures described in the publication (Christensen, J. et al., “Cytoreductive antitumor activity of PF-2341066, a novel inhibitor of anaplastic lymphoma kinase and c-Met, in experimental models of anaplastic large-cell lymphoma”, Mol. Cancer Ther. 2007, 6 (12): 3314-3322.) All experiments are done under standard conditions (37° C. and 5% CO₂). IC₅₀ values are calculated by concentration/response curve fitting using a Microsoft Excel based four-parameter method. Cells are seeded in 96-well plates in medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and transferred to serum-free medium [with 0.04% bovine serum albumin (BSA)] after 24 h. In experiments investigating ligand-dependent RTK phosphorylation, corresponding growth factors are added for up to 20 min. After incubation of cells with an inhibitor for 1 h and/or appropriate ligands for the designated times, cells are washed once with HBSS supplemented with 1 mmol/L Na₃VO₄, and protein lysates are generated from cells. Subsequently, phosphorylation of selected protein kinases is assessed by a sandwich ELISA method using specific capture antibodies to coat 96-well plates and a detection antibody specific for phosphorylated tyrosine residues. Antibody-coated plates are (a) incubated in the presence of protein lysates at 4° C. overnight, (b) washed seven times in 1% Tween 20 in PBS, (c) incubated in a horseradish peroxidase conjugated anti-total-phosphotyrosine (PY-20) antibody (1:500) for 30 mM, (d) washed seven times again, (e) incubated in 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine peroxidase substrate (Bio-Rad) to initiate a colorimetric reaction that is stopped by adding 0.09 N H₂SO₄, and (I) measured for absorbance in 450 nm using a spectrophotometer. Cell lines that are used for individual kinases include A549 for MET, Karpas 299 for ALK, 293-AXL for AXL, PAET RKA for TRKA, and PAE-TRKB for TRKB.

Biological Example 3: Kinase Binding Assays

Kinase binding assays were performed at DiscoveRx using the general KINOMEscan K_(d) Protocol (Fabian, M. A. et al., “A small molecule-kinase interaction map for clinical kinase inhibitors,” Nat. Biotechnol. 2005, 23(3):329-36). For most assays, kinase-tagged T7 phage strains were prepared in an E. coli host derived from the BL21 strain. E. coli were grown to log-phase and infected with T7 phage and incubated with shaking at 32° C. until lysis. The lysates were centrifuged and filtered to remove cell debris. The remaining kinases were produced in HEK-293 cells and subsequently tagged with DNA for qPCR detection. Streptavidin-coated magnetic beads were treated with biotinylated small molecule ligands for 30 minutes at room temperature to generate affinity resins for kinase assays. The liganded beads were blocked with excess biotin and washed with blocking buffer (SeaBlock (Pierce), 1% BSA, 0.05% Tween 20, 1 mM DTT) to remove unbound ligand and to reduce nonspecific binding. Binding reactions were assembled by combining kinases, liganded affinity beads, and test compounds in 1× binding buffer (20% SeaBlock, 0.17×PBS, 0.05% Tween 20, 6 mM DTT). All reactions were performed in polystyrene 96-well plates in a final volume of 0.135 mL. The assay plates were incubated at room temperature with shaking for 1 hour and the affinity beads were washed with wash buffer (1×PBS, 0.05% Tween 20). The beads were then re-suspended in elution buffer (1×PBS, 0.05% Tween 20, 0.5 μM non-biotinylated affinity ligand) and incubated at room temperature with shaking for 30 minutes. The kinase concentration in the eluates was measured by qPCR. Results for compounds tested in this assay are presented in Table 2. With this method, Example 20 also had a binding affinity with PLK4 kinase (K_(d) 2.9 nM).

Biological Example 4: Ba/F3 Cell Proliferation Assay

TRKA Ba/F3 cell proliferation assays were performed by ACD (Advanced Cellular Dynamics). Ba/F3 cell lines were maintained in RPMI-1640 culture media containing 10% fetal bovine serum and antibiotics. Cells in logarithmic-phase growth were harvested and 5,000 cells were distributed into each well of a 384-well plate in 50 μl at of growth media. Fifty nanoliters diluted compound were added to appropriate wells, in duplicate, and the cells were cultured for 48 hours at 37° C. in a humidified 5% CO₂ incubator. Viability was determined by adding 15 μL CellTiter-Glo and measuring luminescence, which is reported as relative light units (RLU) measured in counts per second. The data (RLU) for each compound were normalized to the average maximal response obtained in the presence of vehicle (DMSO) alone. These data were used to derive the percent inhibition (100-% maximal response) and the average of two data points/concentration was used to calculate the IC₅₀ values (concentration causing a half-maximal inhibition of cell survival) via non-linear regression analysis using GraphPad Prism software (GraphPad, Inc., San Diego, Calif.). With this method, Example 20 inhibited cell proliferation of TRKA Ba/F3 cells with an IC₅₀ of 3.0 nM. Data for compounds tested in this assay are presented in Table 3.
